Can anyone tell me how can I flatten a Minecraft heart please? I’ve put this together:

but I’ve noticed that it bows slightly. I’ve managed to get the ends to raise slightly when I’ve screwed it together. The top needs to be smoothed too, as there are some small differences between the pieces. Both sides are only off by a millimetre or two, but it’s enough to be noticeable.
My thinking is to clamp it down at the centre, which seems to be mostly flat on both sides, then sand the top until it’s level, then flip it over and clamp the edges to smooth the bottom.
Are there any likely problems with doing it this way, or is there a better way of doing it? Thanks in advance :)
I don’t know if you have a router available? If you can make a leveling jig that you can run the router over, flattening is easy.
I do have a router. I’m not sure how I’d secure the heart though, as it’s quite small.
I might have just thought of a way, but I need to look and see what scrap I’ve got first. Thanks for the idea :)
A piece of double sided tape might be enough if it is not that heavy. Just make sure to take slow passed and not too much at a time.
If it is really small I’ve been know to just hold it against my orbital sander, just be careful for your fingers.
